Chapter 170 Nolan's distress
After sorting out the harvest, Bai Jinglan's life returned to peace.
Bai Tianjun stationed in Changdao Manor, continued to preside over the construction of Xuye Palace, and practiced various magical skills; the Black Death Emperor stayed in the underground park, summoned hundreds of dark ninjas, and repaired many damaged parks.
Bai Jinglan practices the source of Qi in the manor at night, and studies Luen's magic in the shop during the day.
Just like now, he sat lazily behind the counter, with a pile of clear crystals in front of him.
His fingertips had magical power, like the sharpest carving knife, carving Lun runes on the edge of the crystal stone.
He was trying to use this kind of rune, first creating low-level magic weapons, preparing to upgrade existing equipment after he was thoroughly proficient.
Unfortunately, this kind of magic belongs to different systems and it is not easy to play with it.
laugh!
With a light sound, the crystal stone shattered into powder.
“…failed again.”
Bai Jinglan sighed, threw the powder into the trash can, and looked at the window.
Toriya was sitting there, holding her cheeks with her hands and looking at the sky outside with her emerald eyes through the painted glass.
The figure of the girl sitting upright by the window felt a sense of ethereal distance from the fireworks on earth.
Bai Jinglan asked, "Toria, what are you thinking?"
The girl by the window turned around, her eyes clear and dignified: "I'm thinking about how to save my country."
That was the obsession in the girl's heart and the motivation for her to participate in the Battle of the Holy Grail.
This young knight king resisted everything in his country on his shoulders, always thinking about relying on the power of the Holy Grail to return to the past to change his destiny.
Bai Jinglan shook his head and said, "You want to go back to the past and save your country, but have you ever thought about how to save it?"
Toriya was silent.
"You are not as good as the leader of a country. Your personality is suitable for being a hero, but it is definitely not suitable for being a king." Bai Jinglan shrugged, "If you still can't let go, I suggest you read more books related to politics and then read books related to history, and you may figure out how to become a qualified king."
Toriya was about to say something, but suddenly turned her head and looked at the door.
The next moment, the wind chime hanging at the door rang.
Looking at the person walking in from outside, Bai Jinglan put down the crystal stone and smiled and said, "Officer Nolan, why do you have time to come here?"
Nolan was wearing casual clothes and spread his hands with a wry smile: "Mr. White, have you forgotten that I have something to talk to you about?"
"Oh, remember." Bai Jinglan said unexpectedly, "But that's what happened half a month ago. Haven't your depression period been over yet?"
On the day he was fighting against the AIM task force in Queens, he met Nolan, who caught thieves on the street... Well, that man full of gay love is still fresh in his memory.
At that time, Nolan looked very depressed.
Nolan came to New York from other cities. He didn't have many friends here, and most of them were colleagues from the police station. Most of them would come to Bai Jinglan to talk to him about those complaints that were not suitable for him. Bai Jinglan was also familiar with him.
For his question, Nolan waved his hand, and a sense of fatigue permeated his voice: "Don't mention it, for me, this period is really bad..."
He said, and saw Toriya standing by the window.
Her light and soft, charming blonde hair was dignified on her head, and her slender body was wearing simple casual clothes. The breath exuded made the air in the whole room tighten, looking solemn and cold.
Faced with the majesty revealed by Toriya, Nolan couldn't help swallowing, and suddenly felt a little at a loss: "This one is..."
"She is Toriya, my assistant." Bai Jinglan introduced, "Toriya, this is Officer Nolan, a good old man."
Nolan greeted with a respectful look, as if he met a big man: "Oh, Miss Toriya, I am John Nolan, I'm so happy to know you!"
"Hello, Officer Nolan."
Toriya saw his uneasiness, nodded and said to Bai Jinglan, "Lei Ling's plane is coming soon, I'll pick her up at the airport!"
"Cyclone" Lei Ling planned to come to him for special training during the summer vacation. The flight she took landed from Kennedy Airport in the evening, which was still early, but Toriya was in a bad mood, so it would be better to go out and take a walk first.
So, Bai Jinglan nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he reminded him again: "Be careful, don't drive!"
As the Knight King, Toriya's riding talent is full of talent, and she can skillfully control various mounts, ancient twin-horse chariots and modern land transportation.
Bai Jinglan was not afraid that she would get into a racing accident. What she was afraid of was that she was intercepted by the police and had to ask S.H.E.L.D. to help bring people up.
"I know."
Toriya curled her lips, turned around and went out, and rode Hilde away.
Now, Brenheld has become her exclusive mount.
In addition, Hild absorbed the Hell metal "Heavy Cavalry" and added some special abilities, which is a great helper for Toriya.
"Feel sorry."
Nolan could see that Toriya chose to leave because she didn't want to be restrained, and she couldn't help but feel a little apologized.
"It's nothing. Toriya is in a bad mood. It's good to go out for a ride." Bai Jinglan smiled, pointed to the chair in front, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Tell me, what happened to you, you actually feel so sad?"
"Not one piece, it's a bunch!"
Nolan took a sip of tea and began to complain, "I personally arrested my instructor because he abused his wife who was about to divorce. He was still arrested when the police came to the door; then, my girlfriend and I broke up because we were in the same group, and the police station prohibited police officers from dating. If we don't break up, one person must leave the branch..."
"Oh, then you're so unlucky."
Bai Jinglan knew that his secret girlfriend was a Chinese female policewoman, a very tough new policeman. It is said that on the first day of work, he subdued a gunman with bare hands, which caused a sensation in the 66th branch. He performed much better than the warm Nolan.
"It's not over yet!"
Nolan lay down on the back of the chair, looking weak, "A few days ago, we received a report that a couple had a big argument at home. Bishop and I went to deal with it... The husband was a tall and strong man, and his wife was a gentle and thin woman. I thought it was the husband who abused his wife, but the husband told him not to abuse his family, but I didn't believe it, but instead warned him fiercely."
Bai Jinglan supported the role: "What about?"
"Then……"
Nolan covered his eyes, his expression full of guilt, "That afternoon, we received a report again. When Bishop and I arrived, the strong man had been killed by his wife... It turned out that the man who had always been irritated was not the fierce man, but the woman who looked quiet. She actually cut her husband's throat with a dining knife just because of a little bit of a quarrel!"
Bai Jinglan shrugged: "It seems that it has nothing to do with you, it's because he doesn't know how to resist."
Nolan shook his head and said, "If I could verify it a little when he refuted before, this tragedy would probably be avoided!"
Bai Jinglan was silent for a moment and sighed: "Nolan, although it is not the first time I said this, I still have to say it again-you are a good policeman."
Nolan smiled bitterly: "I'm not overwhelmed, but I just don't understand... What's going on recently? Similar tragedies have happened again and again. Do you know that I encountered another tragedy the day before yesterday. An old reporter who was famous for reporting facts died. The only reason that his daughter killed his father was because of lack of money - a pharmaceutical company suffered huge losses due to the old reporter's report, so they gave her a sum of money, and she poisoned her father without hesitation!"
Bai Jinglan looked calm: "This kind of thing is indeed infuriating, but there are all kinds of people in this world. She is not the first and definitely not the last one who kills her relatives for the sake of interests."
Nolan still looked tired: "But all insiders claimed that the father and daughter had a good relationship, and no one could understand why she did this."
"Is that..."
Bai Jinglan touched his chin and muttered in his heart: Could it be that there is an evil spirit again?
At this time, the wind chime at the door rang again.
A "strong" man...the woman walked in, looked around the shop, and asked in a voice that was indistinguishable to men and women: "Who are you diviners? I want to divine!"
